Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Don't Know How To Party lyrics

(Nate Albert/Dicky Barrett/Bosstones)

I've heard all the stories, the failure and glories

I haven't had either

Boast and toast I'm the best and I'm a mess

I know I'm not neither

Thought I was down as far as any man could go,

Thought my highs were giant size

I know now that's not so

I know you heard, know you heard, know you heard,

Don't believe a word, not a word, one word

It's been overblown, the truth should be known

'til now I couldn't see

Put my cards on the table while I'm still able,

I guess I really don't know how to party

It's blown out of whack,

The truth is what's lacking, 'til now I couldn't see

The long and the short I'd like to report,

I guess I really don't know how to party

Really don't by any shape or form

Whether straight up in the sunshine

or passed out in the storm

Don't know how but now I know I don't

Will it help me out? No, it probably won't

Ten nine ain't no hero number one at bad behavior

Five, four, three, two, what? not zero

Don't go counting on a savior

I was playing it safe when I'd fall on my face

Entertainment was what I was after,

Harmless fun, no damage done

I was out and about for the laughter

Thought I was some-thing

Really something no one was gonna touch

Ace in the place, kingpin of sin I didn't know too much

Don't believe everything you've heard,

Don't believe a solitary word

It's been overblown, the truth should be known,

'til now I couldn't see

Put my cards on the table while I'm still able

I guess I really don't know how to party

Really don't by any shape and form

Whether straight up in the sunshine

or passed out in a storm,

Don't know how but now I know I don't

Will it help me out, no it probably won't

I don't have a notion and I don't have a clue,

An iota or an inkling where to start or what to do

The foggiest, the faintest, the slightest I ain't got

Will it help me out?

Nah, probably not
